Bord Gais Energy customers will be noticing a massive increase in their gas and electricity bills from April 15 after the company announced an end to its winter price pledge.
However, even if customers cut back on their usage as much as possible, they will still see a substantial rise in costs.
Bord Gáis confirmed to the Irish Independent that the hikes would also apply to standing charges as well as the cost per unit of gas and electricity.
